When you've been covering the back end of this old show we love for as long as we have, you notice a few familiar faces popping up in the lower reaches of whatever local selection process is open to contributions from around the planet. And one such frequent flyer is our Andi here, who's tried his hand all over the place, but never seems to get onto the live shows anywhere.
Perhaps his vocal is a little too esoteric to catch the ears of a professional jury? Or maybe his stage persona is a smudge too understated and gets lost in amongst the bolder, brasher contestants? But whatever it is, you've got to give the lad credit for his indomitable spirit and pure persistence.
He does seem to have put a bit of effort into his backing track this year, though. We're not sure whether he's got someone to make it for him, or maybe he bought it in from a music library, but it's got a smashing melancholic lilt that make's his unique vocal stand out all the more. Oh, and if you get through the whole song, we'd seriously recommend that you take a listen to some of the covers of Eurovision classics on his YouTube channel, because they'll entertain the heck out of you!
Good man, Andi Taranik! And long may you continue!

This track is a cover track which I think he submitted to San Marino selection process. The original track was published in 2017 and has French lyrics. As he cannot sing in French, he just translated them to English and did a very clumsy work with it.
ReplyDeleteHe sounds like is about to fall asleep and in his Eurovision covers he sings mostly out of tune. In short-no
Yeah, but that’s entirely the joy of it!
